John Beck and Friends, A Tribute to Benny Goodman takes place on Wednesday, September 23 at the Strong National Museum of Play.
Few of us were around to feel the excitement of swing-era jazz in the 1930's and 1940's. But we can ride the time machine back by way of the Strong Museum's Making American Music series. The "King of Swing," Benny Goodman, will be saluted by percussionist extraordinaire John Beck, along with Rod Blumenau on piano; Dave Zaskoda, bass; Brax Paxton, vibes; and Peter Ferran, clarinet, who will play favorites like "I Found a New Baby" and "Avalon."
